Planetary positions are calculated astronomically. Astrological meanings are symbolic interpretations, not scientific personality tests or predictions of future events.
Your Moon sign is the zodiac sign the Moon was in at the moment you were born. Because the Moon spends only about two and a half days in each sign, the result depends on your date of birth and often on your birth time as well. Enter your date of birth to see your Moon sign, the period the Moon spent in that sign and the Moon phase at your birth. If the Moon changed signs that day, the tool shows the exact time of the change.

What is a Moon sign?
Your Moon sign is the sign of the zodiac the Moon occupied at the moment you were born. In astrology, the Sun describes your conscious identity and sense of purpose, while the Moon symbolizes your emotions, habits, need for security and the conditions in which you feel at ease. That’s why your Moon sign tends to show up most in close relationships and at home, where you’re most naturally yourself.
Two people who share a Sun sign can react to things very differently on an emotional level. Much of that difference comes from the Moon sign: someone with the Moon in Cancer may seek closeness and belonging, while someone with the Moon in Aquarius may prefer to experience feelings from a certain distance.
How is your Moon sign calculated?
The Moon completes its orbit around Earth in about 27.3 days and spends an average of two and a half days in each sign. The calculator uses Swiss Ephemeris to find the Moon’s ecliptic longitude at the start and end of your birthday. If the Moon stayed in the same sign all day, the result is definitive and no birth time is needed.
If the Moon changed signs that day, the tool shows the time of the change and asks for your birth time. Once you enter it, the tool calculates the Moon’s exact position, when its stay in that sign began and ended, and the Moon phase at your birth. The time zone and any daylight saving time in effect on that date are applied automatically.
Do you need your birth time to find your Moon sign?
The Moon moves about 13 degrees a day, so on some days it passes from one sign into the next. This happens about 160 times a year, on more than 40% of all days; if you were born on one of those days, your Moon sign depends on your birth time. On every other day, you can find your Moon sign by date of birth alone.
If you were born in a different time zone from the one you’re in now, enter your place of birth as well. The Moon changes signs at the same instant everywhere in the world, but the local clock time differs; without the right time zone, the result on a changeover day could be wrong.
Moon sign vs. Sun sign vs. rising sign
Your Sun sign depends on your date of birth, and the Sun stays in each sign for about thirty days. Your Moon sign changes every two and a half days, while your rising sign depends on your birth time and place and changes roughly every two hours. In astrology, these three are read together as the “Big Three.”
The Sun describes what you want and who you’re striving to become, the Moon what you need and how you feel, and the rising sign how you come across to others. To see all three at once, try our rising sign calculator, which also shows your Sun and Moon signs.
What does your Moon phase at birth mean?
The Moon phase is calculated from the angle between the Sun and the Moon. At the New Moon, the Moon and the Sun lie in the same direction; at the Full Moon, they face each other from opposite sides. Some astrologers link the phase at birth to a person’s tendency to start things or to bring them to completion: waxing phases can point to new beginnings, while waning phases suggest refining and finishing.
The calculator shows the phase at the moment you were born and what percentage of the Moon was illuminated. This information is astronomically exact; its interpretation belongs to a symbolic tradition.

Moon sign calculator: frequently asked questions
What is my Moon sign, and how do I find it?
Enter your date of birth in the Moon sign calculator on this page. If the Moon didn’t change signs that day, you get a definitive result right away; if it did, the tool shows the time of the change and asks for your birth time.
Do I need my birth time to calculate my Moon sign?
On most days, no. Because the Moon spends about two and a half days in each sign, there are around 160 changeover days a year, and on those days your birth time changes the result. The tool detects these days automatically.
What does your Moon sign say about you?
Your Moon sign describes your emotional needs, habits, sense of security and the conditions in which you feel at ease. While your Sun sign symbolizes your conscious identity, your Moon sign represents your inner world and emotional reactions.
Can your Moon sign be the same as your Sun sign?
Yes. If the Moon was in the same sign as the Sun when you were born, your Sun and Moon signs are the same; this usually happens with births close to a New Moon. In that case, the themes of that sign are read as more pronounced.
Does your Moon sign change every year?
No. Your Moon sign is calculated for the moment of your birth and stays fixed in your birth chart. The Moon in the sky, however, changes signs every two and a half days; the Moon calendar on this page shows those changes.
Is my Moon sign different if I was born in another country?
The Moon’s position is the same everywhere in the world, but the local clock time differs. If you were born on a day when the Moon changed signs, enter your place of birth too for an accurate result; your time zone is determined from it.
